Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Irish cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons Irish cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the Irish cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy.
- Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- For extra richness, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and drizzle with Irish cream.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Add chopped nuts for texture and crunch.
- Don’t overbake to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Let the brownies cool fully before slicing for clean edges.
- Flavor develops more if made a day in advance.
